Chapter 711 Ulterior Motives

The reporters weren’t idiots, so they knew how much power Tom held as the assistant of Fuller Group’s president. The reporters knew that their bosses would certainly heed the words of Toby’s assistant to fire them. When should we run if not now? they thought.

Soon enough, the reporters who had blocked Tom’s way a moment ago had disappeared into thin air. Not a single one of them stayed behind. Tom pretended to brush off the non-existent dust particles on his suit before he let out a proud grin. “You little brats thought you could win a fight against me, huh? Hmph!” Tom fixed his necktie before he strode toward Paradigm Co.’s front entrance.

Meanwhile, all of Paradigm Co.’s shareholders and high-level staff members were already gathered in the meeting room. Sonia’s online incident had caused a huge impact on the company, so the people involved were all gathered in the room as they waited for Sonia’s arrival. They had to ask Sonia how she was planning to resolve this matter and whether it was even a resolvable matter.

Asher and his people, in particular, were waiting around with excitement and greed in their eyes. They shared the same beliefs as Jessica—they didn’t think that the press conference would be enough to contain this matter. They figured that evidence wasn’t something one could pull out of thin air, so they thought that Sonia’s press conference would be a failure if she failed to produce any hard evidence. A failure was exactly what they were hoping for because that was the only way they had a chance to force some benefits out of Sonia.

Asher had it all planned out. He wanted to use this opportunity to force Sonia to give him some power over the company. It didn’t matter if Sonia had Fuller Group supporting her; it’d still be a fact that she was an illegitimate daughter who had stolen the Reed Family’s shares if she couldn’t resolve this issue.

The scandalous news of her bullying Jessica would then become the truth. When that happened, the whole of society would blame Sonia, and even Toby would become a target if he spoke up for her. Toby’s post the night before already showed that he was indeed blinded by love—he was offering unconditional protection to Sonia despite her wrongdoings.
